a little smaller than that of the fore wings of the male and that
of the hind wings of the female. Female.—Antenne moderately
pectinated; branches single, of moderate length. Abdomen very
thick, extending to three-fourths of the breadth of the hind wings.
Fore wings not faleate, hardly concave along the exterior border; |
vitreous spot round, larger than that of the hind wings. Hind
wings more rounded than those of the male; vitreous spot sub-
elliptical, smaller than that of the fore wings, forming the pupil of
a large ocellus.

This genus is nearly allied to Samia, but may be distinguished
by the form of its wings, and by the distinct vitreous spots.

LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 1227

Body stout. Antenne as long as the thorax. Thorax witha
| lappet on each side. Abdomen not extending so far as the hind
|wings. Wings rather long, moderately broad. Fore wings slightly
| convex on the apical part of the costa, more or less acutely angular
at the tips, oblique and almost straight or hardly concave along the
exterior border. Hind wings rather broader than the fore wings.
Male.—Antenne very deeply pectinated, except near the tips, where
they are serrated with alternate short and very short teeth ; branches
of equal length, slender, ciliated, in pairs. Female.—Antenne very
‘slightly pectinated, with alternate very short and rudimentary
branches.

This genus differs from Antherea in its more elongated fore
wings, and more especially in the vitreous spot of the latter. These
have no trace of the ocellus which, like that on the hind wings,
appears on the fore wings of all the Antherea@, though in several
species of the latter genus it is much smaller than the hind wing-
ocellus. It seems to connect the Drepanulide with the Satur-
ntide by means of the genus Cricula.

Body stout. Wings ample, each with an ocellus, whose disk is
partly or wholly vitreous. Fore wings very generally more or less
_faleate; costa more or less convex towards the tip; exterior border

generally more or less undulating. Hind wings as long as or
_ longer than broad, very little broader than the fore wings, extending
_ more or less beyond the abdomen. .

} The principal characters which distinguish this group from
‘ Altacus are the greater size of the abdomen, the different colouring
of the wings, the less development of the hind wings, and the
| vitreous spot, which has another form.

the hind wings. Fore wings with a purple costal stripe, from
whence a short branch proceeds to the vitreous ocellus; the latter is
transversely elliptical and is bordered with brown, tawny, black,
blue and black on the inner side, and with lilac, red, luteous and
ferruginous on the outer side. Hind wings with a round ocellus,
larger than that of the fore wings, but with the like disposition of
colours ; tails rather shorter than the breadth of the hind wings.
Length of the body 12 lines; of the wings 52 lines.

This species much resembles 7, Luna, but may be distinguished
by the band on the wings, by the not empurpled exterior border, by
the fore wings, which have a less oblique and more straight exterior
border, and by the hind wings, which have shorter tails,

Veins of the fore wings similarly arranged to those of S. Mimose,

which connects the inner branch of the post-costal vein and the
outer branch of the median vein closing the discal areolet so oblique
(as well as subangulated in the middle) that it seems like a real
fourth branch of the post-costal, running down within the onter
margin of the tail, the base of the outer branch of the median vein |
being so thin and ‘short that it resembles the ordinary condition of |
the veinlet closing the areolet, although its nearly longitudinal |
direction indicates its real nature as a branch of the median vein.

Saturnia Zuleika, Hope, Linn. Trans. xix. 132, 18, pl. 11, f. 5.

Much resembles Saturnia Pyri, but the fore wings are longer
and narrower, and consequently more oblique along the exterior
‘border. Head and thorax reddish brown, the latter with two white
bands. Antenne testaceous. Abdomen pale brown. Wings
'whitish, brown towards the exterior border, and with dark brown
zigzag bands. Fore wings with a large reddish brown spot at the
' base; whitish part speckled with brown; costa very pale yellow,

speckled with black; a reddish mark and a larger black blue-
| speckled spot near the tips, which are white; oceHus lunate, alter-
‘nately red and white, bordered with’ black on its exterior side.
| Hind wings purplish about the ocellus, which is much broader and

darker than that of the fore wings, and has two dark brown borders,

one round the hyaline mark, the other outermost. Length of the
| body 15 lines; of the wings 56—63 lines.

The specimens under this name are mutilated, and in some
characters, such as the deeply pectinated antenne and the ocellated

wings, the genus much resembles the Satwrniide, but a further ex-
amination proves it to have more affinity to the Noctuites, and it is

rr transferred to that tribe.

slender undulating oblique whitish testaceous band, which is
abruptly recurved as it approaches the costa; beyond the latter
band the wings are yellowish brown, with the exception of a purplish
brown interval, which is slightly flecked with white, and is inter-
tupted towards the costa and at the costa by two black spots; the
white flecks are most prevalent near the tips, which are red. Hind

ha purplish cupreous bands on its hinder half. Legs hoary.

Wings silvery gray, with numerous minute whitish black-tipped
| flecks, with a curved undulating interrupted purplish cupreous band

at one-fourth of the length, and with a cupreous-purple oblique

band, which is much dilated near the tip of the costa and then sud-
denly becomes narrow, and thence gradually widens to near its
termination by the middle of the interior border; it is accompanied
on its inner side by a cupreoas line, its outer border is undulating;
fringe partly blackish. Fore wings with a rather large purple
ocellus, whose silvery border has a cupreous margin ; it contains two

_ M. Guérin-Méneville observes that A. Pernyi may be dis-
tinguished from A. Mylitta by the form and texture of its cocoon.
In his figures of the males A. Pernyi differs from A. Mylitta by its
less faleate fore wings and by the exterior band, which is different
jin colour, more straight, and in the hind wings is contiguous to the
eat: A. Myliita varies much in the distance of the band of the
nind wings from the ocellus, and the fore wings of the male are

nore or less falcate. Cocoon tawny-yellow, oval and rugose, like
that of Bombyx Mori.
